Kalrog Naar are a solo project that h as been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a very epic, romantic and fantasy themed form of dark metal and this is a review of his 2025 album "Archeogothik Vol. 1" which was released by Kalrog Records.
Programmed beats and keyboards start off the album which also adds in elements of goth metal and mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs. A lot of the vocals are also done in a clear singing style mixed in with some grim black metal screams and when the music speeds up a decent amount of blast b eats can b e heard.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while most of the album is very heavily rooted in more of dark metal style. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with some of the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, clean playing can also be heard at times and there are also some Death SS, Savage, Opus and In Ketton covers.
In his recording Kalrog Naar goes for more of a mixture of goth and dark metal with some touches of black metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover fantasy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Kalrog Naar and if you are a fan of epic, romantic and fantasy themed dark metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Monster" "The Nightmare" "Burning Down The Hell" and "Verlassen". 8 out of 10.
